Step 2 Filling the creek bed The creek bed, wider than the creek, is strewn with rocks and debris. I built mine on a base of plaster covered with earth-tone paint. I then brushed on thinned white glue and sprinkled on a thin coating of alluvial sand. I next added large pebbles and twigs. I then added smaller rocks, depositing them with a teaspoon and arranging them with a paintbrush. I clustered these around and behind the larger rocks, which would shield them from the current. I swept the center of the creek bed clear with a paintbrush. I fixed the debris by first spraying Sand and debris. Horst brushed white glue on the creek bed and covered it with a thin layer of alluvial sand. He then added larger rocks and bits of deadfall. the area with wet water (water with a few drops of dish soap), then applying thinned white glue with a dropper. Smaller bits. Next, Horst used added smaller rocks and debris. He used a paintbrush to arrange these behind the larger items, where they would collect in the current. Step 3 Modeling the water Clean path. Using a paintbrush, Horst swept the course of the creek clear. He then secured the debris in the creek bed with white glue thinned 50/50 with water. Water. Horst brushed on Busch Model Water, a thick gel-like liquid, to represent flowing water. The material has a long working time, letting you shape waves as it dries. I modeled the stream by brushing on several layers of Busch Model Water [available from Walthers – Ed.]. It’s thick enough to not flow away, so you have plenty of time as it cures to Whitecaps. To model a gently flowing brook, stop at this point. But to make swifter, turbulent water, Horst highlights the tips of the waves by drybrushing them with white paint. create ripples on the surface. Repeated dabbing with a paintbrush during the drying process forms the waves and crests typical of a swift-flowing creek. For a more turbulent surface, you can 58 Model Railroader • www.ModelRailroader.com highlight these crests by drybrushing them with white paint. Scenicking the surrounding terrain with matching colors of sand, rocks, turf, and grass completes the scene.
